Winona lug-sole boat shoes in croc-embossed leather

I was nervous about buying these since they are final sale and the reviews stated they run small. While I think they run small and a little narrow, my feet are small and narrow, so my size worked for me. I wear a 5 and sometimes J Crew shoes in that size run a little big on me but these fit me fine for wearing with tights or a thin sock. But if you don’t have kids-sized feet like me, they would probably be small on you and you may want to size up. Now that I got that out of the way, I really like these shoes and wore them all day today and they only rubbed the back of my heal a little but that was it. They are super cute and I’m a sucker for a slip on shoe because I am lazy. Haha.

Love shoe, leather smell is phenomenal; perfectly crafted. Had to order 8 when 7 would not go on. New ones fit perfectly. Lost 10% of price as 1st was 50% off, 2nd was 40%. I buy less here because of this type of reoccurring issue. Only if I love item.

I cautiously purchased these loafers being wary they might be heavy/bulky. Was pleasantly surprised when I took them out of the box. Great style, not heavy, etc. However, when I tried them on - well - I barely got my feet inside! I even checked the bottom of the shoe thinking maybe I was sent a 7 vs. a 7.5. Nope. So, if you are interested in them, I’d go to a store and try them first. I live out in the boonies so no store nearby or I would do so.

Love them: leather smells divine, style is adorable, and lug heel is fabulous. But they are tight-even without socks or a thin sock. My toe is against front and entire shoe encases foot without wiggle room.
